Argentina Announces Boxers to Cuban Tournament

The Argentine Condors boxing team announced its five boxers to fight the Cuban Domadores (Tamers) at the World Series of Boxing (WSB), the event''s website reports.

Only two WSB-experienced boxers are included in the official list, although with no good results, since Juan Gabriel Rizo (81 kg) has a record of 0-3 and Kevin Espíndola 1-1 in the +91 kg division.

Ramon Quiroga (52), Joel Mafauad (60) and Federico Schinina (69) are the other Argentinian boxers for the match, and will be making their debut in the Series.

The International Boxing Association (AIBA) enabled the franchises to register up to two professional boxers in each team, although it was expected to be quite difficult to sign up any world-famous fighter, mainly for economic reasons.

Cuba, that has won the last two editions of the WBS, will be entering its national champions for each of those divisions in the Friday 17th boxing match at the Havana Sports Center.

Thus, fans will have the possibility to see in action Yosbany Veitía (52), Armando Martínez (60), Roniel Iglesias (69), Julio César La Cruz (81) and José Ángel Larduet (+91).
